Janie and Kenny send: Hello Y'all,
Our words echo from the beautiful city of Biloxi, Mi. Today's weather has been warm/hot to extreme humidity (Yuk).
My daily blog will be all about food and travel. Today is Thursday. We were up by 6 a.m. and at the retreat cafe by 6:30 a.m. Our menu was french toast, bacon, grits, cereal and beverages of choice. Georgia, Julie and I are very grateful for our new friend Cathy. She has been cooking all week for us and the meals have been terrific. Others in our work group have had to cook all their meals. after exhausting hard work. This is something we've been very thankful for.
Most everyone took off around 3 p.m., to do some sight seeing. The mighty six choose to stick around our city. So we went to the Camille and Katrina Memorial sites. They were beautiful and humbling all in one. We all took pictures that we will share.
Our next stop was Miss Mary Mahoney's Inn, built in 1772. This meal was a gift to us from the Wheelers, we thank them for their kindness. Our setting was fancy white table cloth, silver, crystal, and china. Our dinning area was in an old bedroom with 4 floors beautiful hand carved chairs. The windows framed the huge old oak trees surrounding the inn. One being 2000 years old. We dined on prime rib, veal, shrimp and crab. Our dinner was highlighted by our decadent desserts of key lime pie, lemon meringue pie, cheese cake all served with pretty presentation of sauces and syrups. With warm contentment within our bodies, we journeyed on back to our retreat, did some wash visited a bit and then went to bed.
Our young energizer bunny (Noah) has not slowed much. Georgia and Rick have much to be proud of, their two young men are fine, polite, warm and gracious to all they meet. These are words and comments by many of the other volunteers.
We need to get our reservation in for next year, they are already full for the remainder of 2008, and winter of 2009.
See you ALL on Sunday.
Greetings from Janie and Kenny
